SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:

Twenty-five years’ experience supporting manufacturing environments in various technical capacities. Demonstrated history of expanding job responsibilities beyond basic maintenance and repair activities to developing knowledge of the entire control system. Extensive development, implementation, documentation, and release to production of machine and process enhancements that increase throughput quantity, output quality, and user satisfaction. These projects were completed with a high degree of electrical understanding, a knowledge of component integration, and the ability to learn multiple programming languages.

WORK EXPERIENCE:

Jan 19 – May 19: Maintenance Technician, Stonyfield Farm – Londonderry, NH

Preventive and mechanical maintenance of yogurt production equipment

Jan 02 – Jun18: Engineering Technician, Allegro Microsystems LLC – Manchester, NH

Multidisciplinary technician responsible for all aspects of production equipment related to the high-volume manufacturing of semiconductor sensor components.

PCB troubleshooting, down to component level of semiconductor test systems

Provided services to multiple departments including Production, Product Engineering, Process Engineering, Systems Engineering, Equipment Engineering and Facilities.

Supported multiple product lines to maintain day to day production requirements as an electro-mechanical technician.

Developed programs and processes related to the generation and verification of calibration standards used across multiple production lines.

Enhanced the operation of multiple equipment lines through added inspection capabilities; increased throughput; improved program functioning; and increased data collection and transfer functions as an engineering technician.

Added multiple operational enhancements to semiconductor test systems, including the ability to configure and start up a production run automatically from the corporate MES system to eliminate human error during lot start-up. Result was elimination of 4-6 customer returns per year.

Transfer of lot status data during runtime to a central server to provide management a live data dashboard to view lot status, yield, and system utilization.
